Why You Should Use Cuticle & Skincare Balm

by Kristine Simson April 20, 2023

Mani Chic's infused jojoba is blended with unrefined shea, and beeswax to provide long lasting moisture for extra dry cuticles. It is even good for cracked skin on heels, dry elbows and knees, and anywhere else that needs an extra boost of moisture! Balms are heat sensitive and will melt if left in hot cars and other warm places.

If you find that your nail overlay (ie. acrylics, gels, dip powder, etc.) tends to lift, a balm may be a good alternative to cuticle oils for you.

Our jojoba oil has been infused with silica rich horsetail and is preserved with a very high quality Vitamin e oil.

Benefits of Horsetail: contains silica which aids in the growth and strength of our nails. It has the antioxidant benefits of anti-aging and calming and soothing the skin and the anti-inflammatory benefits for acne and irritation. Horsetail can help heal rashes, burns, and wounds thanks to its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. One study published in the Journal of Plastic Dermatology found that using horsetail topically on nails reduced splitting and fragility of nails as well as reduced longitudinal grooves.

Benefits of Vitamin E: “The Skin Vitamin,” is an antioxidant and a nutrient that is best known for maintaining skin health and for strengthening immunity. Research suggests that vitamin E supplementation can prevent yellow nail syndrome, which causes peeling, cracked, and yellowing nails. Vitamin E oil's moisturizing benefits may also support nail health by preventing cracked cuticles and dry skin around the nail bed. Vitamin E oil contains antioxidants, which protect your nails from aging and turn its color from yellow to healthy. Nail polish and acetone are very harmful and damaging to your nails and cuticles, vitamin E oil is the perfect repair for that problem.
